Abstract

This chapter introduces the main functionalities of R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, and its integrated development environment RStudio. It starts with a quick introduction about the basics of R and RStudio (how to install R and RStudio, and get started). Next, it focuses on data handling (how to prepare, load, check, manage and save data with R). The second part of the chapter deals with descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion and coefficients of correlation) and visualization techniques used to explore linguistic data (in the form of bar plots, mosaic plots, histograms, ecdf plots and boxplots).
